Here in RI DUI offenses are taken very seriously. Before you decide to drink and drive, make someone a designated driver. But if you do make a mistake and end up pulled over, be sure to contact me at (401) 861-1155 for a consultation to discuss the charges being made, and what will be in your best interest moving forward.
RI steps up DUI enforcement over holidays
PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) -- Rhode Island officials say extra patrols will be out to ensure motorists drive sober throughout the holiday season.
Michael Lewis, director of the state's Department of Transportation, said Thursday that motorists should plan ahead by picking a designated driver before heading to holiday parties.
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, 37 percent of holiday season traffic fatalities are alcohol related. In December 2009, 753 people were killed in alcohol-related crashes around the U.S.
Lewis also urged residents to heed a new state law allowing police to detain and cite motorists for not buckling up, even if they haven't committed another offense.
